Watched Touch of Evil for the first time in a while and I had forgotten the whole movie is set on a "walnut ranch."

I too fondly remember Touch of Evil getting the MST3K treatment, what with all the "I'm Charlton Heston for Contel"/"I'm Charles Foster Kane" riffing going on when both of the main actors appeared together. And that's saying nothing of the "Chief? McCloud!" bits whenever Dennis Weaver showed up on screen. ![]()

Watched the Ready Player One riff. Highly recommended. Features the phrase 'dystopian Great Gazoo.' The movie itself seemed mostly inoffensive compared to the novel which means it was mostly just boring CGI slamming into each other.

The movie is an okay popcorn flick, really.

If the MST3K live tour comes to your area I’d heartily recommend it. It’s awesome seeing Joel back in the jumpsuit and riffing again.

They don't come to Canada and I'm going to keep complaining about it in this thread until somebody does something about it!

He and Jonah work well together and the Tom & Crow fill ins so really well. Joel definitely still had it and had adjusted, but Jonah also really shines in the live show. It must be exausting, but I hope the keep doing them. I hope they can afford to film a few clips from the mads next time.

Was there any release of the shows from last year? Like as a script or a lovely cell phone video on YouTube?

I think he heard some of the shows were filmed but I’ve yet to hear anything about them being released. There’s some clips from the host segments on YouTube but I haven’t seen any of the riffing go up.

They actually sold copies of the Eegah script on tour, so someone might have scanned it and put it up somewhere or at the very least I’m sure it’s on eBay. I remember reading an interview where they said they had recorded some of the shows and were thinking of releasing them at some point but otherwise they haven’t said anything. I can see them being Netflix specials or something down the road.

I am at MST3K live in Detroit. It is very good. I learned today that Tom Servo goes to therapy because he is upset that Crow got eyes and moving arms and he didn’t. ![]()

Anyone else going to tonight's live show in Saint Louis?

St. Louis show was excellent. The game show gimmick wore kind of thin, and Joel's mic was a little bit too quiet, but overall I thought this was much stronger than last year's Eegah show. A big part of that might have been the movie being totally new to me, and it's an exceptionally goofy one too. Biggest audience laugh of the whole evening was probably at a line they didn't even need to riff on.

Yeah, I thought the host segments' central conceit was a little thin, but goddamn was that an amazing movie and some really solid riffs. Laughed my rear end off, shame STL never gets the second show. Something about a giant gooey brain headbutting an 80s teen out a window is magic all on its own. Also Joel back in the jumpsuit was lovely and sweet, and there was a moment where Jonah and Crow put their foreheads together and chanted and I nearly lost it. I never know how much in the live shows is scripted versus improv'd, but judging by the way Joel lost his poo poo at that bit, it miiiiiiiiiiight have been adlibbed.

They didn’t do that at the Wilkes Barre show so it was probably an adlib.

Hey, I've got a friend who's never seen MST3K but has heard of it, and I was hoping to fix that the next time we hung out. Normally I'd throw on Space Mutiny and let Brick Hardmeat work his magic, but she happens to be a fan of Svengoolie, so something tells me she'd connect more with Joel and an old horror movie than Mike and a cheesy sci-fi actioner. I feel like going right into Manos would break her brain, and (weirdly enough) I was never a fan of Pod People or Eegah. Any other suggestions that I could buy from Rifftrax or stream off Netflix/YouTube? Maybe Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? Hell, should I take my chances with Jonah and Cry Wilderness?

Giant Gila Monster Cry Wilderness is insane and funny, but I don't know if that's a good 1st. Wild, Wild World of Batwoman has always worked for me when introducing newbies.

If a similar to Svengoolie experience is what you're after, I'd say go for any of the following: Giant Gila Monster, Attack of the The Eye Creatures, The Killer Shrews, Teenagers from Outer Space, Amazing Colossal Man, It Conquered the World, and The Unearthly, along with the MST3K Godzilla episodes as well (with honorable mentions going to several of the Sci-Fi Channel era Mike episodes like Revenge of the Creature, The Mole People, The Leech Woman, and The Screaming Skull). As a special bonus you can point out that Sven did a bunch of the aforementioned movies on his original show, back when he was "Son of" Svengoolie. ![]()

Time Chasers has a special place in my heart because it has a late family friend (Ted Pendleton) and his wife (Becky Fenton. [Still Alive]) Ted was a wonderful guy with an absolute love of theater. Becky still has a signed copy of Time Chasers with the MST3K casts signatures on it. When Time Chasers was aired, the entire cast got together and made a party out of it as well. ![]()

Men have always sought an end to the toil and misery, but it can't be given, it has to be achieved. There is hope, but it has to come from inside, from Man himself.

They were all community theater people who got together to make a movie. There were a couple of people that were really really salty about the MST3K thing, but most of the cast had a great laugh about it. Edit* Ted is the overdramatic Hobo in the future if anybody cares.
